19,000 Suzuki Sedans Recalled Due To Spider Infestation Risk

Today, Suzuki announced the recall of with fuel lines that are somehow irresistible to spiders. The spiders build webs in the cars’ fuel lines, which lead to negative pressure in the fuel tank and can crack fuel lines, which in turn could lead to fires. Yes, spiders could be trying to set fire to your car, garage, and home.

Affected vehicles are the Suzuki Kizashi, model years 2010 through 2013. What complicates this recall is that Suzuki doesn’t sell cars in the United States anymore, having sold off the last of their inventory in 2013. While Suzuki instructs owners in their letter to take their vehicles to an “authorized service provider,” customers need to call a toll-free number to find out where those service providers are.

Fortunately, the fix is pretty simple: it consists of putting a filter on one of the car’s ventilation lines in order to keep spiders out.
